We had a good response to the last article on coconut oil! The responses actually had us (mainly Lora!) doing even more digging into what we know and don't know about coconut oil, it's composition and how different fats break down in the body. I think it's important to remember that there are times that we do not know the answer. In those times, we have to make our most educated "best guess" and move on. My choice might not be your choice. That's ok. We don't have to spend all … [Read more...]
Q&A: Since coconut oil is high in saturated fat, should I just avoid it?
After the olive oil article Lora wrote last week, we had a question about coconut oil from a reader on my facebook page. So we decided coconut oil would be a good topic for the next Q&A! Don't forget about our seminar this Thursday evening at Cancer Services' office in Winston-Salem. Cancer Nutrition Myths and Truths: Thursday 1/29 at 5:30pm.

(See our picture on the right, at a triathlon we did together in Oct 2007). Seriously if it weren't for his encouragement and ideas, I would not have taken my career in this direction. Not to mention many other aspects of life that I learned the few years we were friends. (The list would include growing food, … [Read more...]
GMO Foods: Why You Should NOT Freak Out!
Wow - I think I've done a stellar job avoiding this topic. Ha! It's been a "hot topic" for several years now and I receive many questions about it when I do seminars, etc. and also via the my facebook pagee. Basically, I've avoided it because no matter what I say... someone is going to get heated and mad at me. I just know it. People go nuts over it! However, I think it's time that we have a frank, open and honest discussion about GMO foods. For those of you who aren't aware, … [Read more...]
